    for meta tags

    Title tags : it is advisable to use max 8-10 words

    des tag : it is advisable to use 20 - 25 words

    keyword tag : it is advisable to use 15-20 keywords

    alt tag: it is advisable to use keywords according to your image size.if your image is large than u can add more words in alt tag.

    I would have to agree. The more you do, the messier it gets.
